This microscope lens for my camera is one of the coolest things I've ever made.

Anytime I find a tiny bug in my place I get my mind blown.

Case in point: Can someone help me identify what it is that I found? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Found in Raleigh, NC.

The front door of my shop was inundated with these things last summer; thousands of them all around the entrance. I let them be. Customers didn't seem to mind. I cleaned away their husks when they were done. I found them June 27th and I think they were done by about July 5th. They were all the way to this column, on the door, up the other side of the door, and all over the storefront. Our neighbors on either side were virtually untouched, but their fronts are mostly glass.

@mzedp Looks like a ladybug larva.
